5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2013

I rate this a 4-star hotel which sits across from East beach and Stearn Wharf. The hotel also sits on State street (main street in Santa Barbara). Because of its location, we did not use our car the entire weekend. The ocean view upgrade was nice for people watching and relaxing. We used the heated pool even when the weather... More

My stay was very comfortable. Had an ocean view - you get to watch sunrises from the bed. Great bathroon w shower and bath tub. The valets are very sweet, but one of the two women (kelsey or brianna) at the front desk was very rude! Th room was not ready and she did nothing to store the luggage (even... More

This is a fairly expensive hotel, but after staying in some of the lower end motels which are still pretty good, this is a luxury. The rooms are very plush, some with balconies. Very clean and the most comfortable beds. It is walking distance to State Street and is on the beach front close to the pier and harbour (obviously)!... More

If this hotel was not well located on the beach, it would be just an average decent place to stay. Most rooms have no view, surprising for a beachfront location. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed, with free Wifi and a good signal. I had to knock them down a few points for the dust I found caked into... More

This hotel was the best we stayed in during our 2 week Californian road trip from the UK. We had a lovely room with a vaulted ceiling and ocean views. It is smart, clean and comfortable with a nice pool area and the restaurant is also worth a visit. We wished we'd stayed longer than 2 nights so we could... More

Stayed 2 nites in Room 323--see photo. Check in/out went smooth (called ahead for early checkin and our room was ready). Very friendly staff. Loved our room..ceiling fan a plus, only heard Amtrak a couple times when balcony doors open, instant coffee in room was only negative for us, bed not too soft which was good for my bad back....

Beautiful hotel in a great location. Across the street from the beach and pier, 5 block walk to the shops and restaurants of State street (downtown). Street in front of the hotel is busy during the day, but this whole end of the city goes to sleep early, and is quiet.
